Did you miss Day Break on ABC last night? If so, you’re certainly not alone. We’ve been innundated with emails and traffic from people looking for details on what’s happened to the Taye Diggs series.
For those who don’t know, Day Break has been pulled from primetime by ABC after just six episodes due to low ratings. The on-going storyline is hardly resolved with seven unaired episodes left in the season. ABC has said they will post episodes (one per week) on their website but many people don’t have a powerful enough computer, can’t access the Internet long enough to watch, don’t have a fast Internet connection or, for many other reasons, simply can’t view the episodes. In short, millions of people who could have seen future episodes on free network television, will never see this excellent series — and we think the decision-makers should know.
So, we’re inviting you to sign a petition that asks the network and the production companies (Gross Entertainment and Touchstone Television) to release the series so that more people can see it — to return the series to network TV or at the least, to release it on DVD. With enough interest, there could even be a second season or a movie.
Let your friends, neighbors and co-workers know — anyone who misses Day Break — where they can find this petition. Naturally, the more names are collected, the better.
To sign the petition, fill out the “comments” box below. You only need to leave your name, city and state (or country). You may leave comments if you wish but please try to keep them civil. We’ll be monitoring the petition to ensure that it stays clean of spam or inappropriate comments. Let’s save Day Break!
Please note, due to the overwhelming response, 5,000 comments have been archived (for bandwidth issues).
To ABC, Gross Entertainment & Touchstone Television:
cc: Taye Diggs
We, the undersigned have enjoyed much of your programming, particularly the outstanding Day Break series. We have enjoyed the Taye Diggs series each week and are dismayed that it has been pulled from the primetime schedule.
We believe that the ratings have not accurately shown the show’s popularity for success. After just six episodes, we believe that Day Break was not given enough time to fully establish a potentially huge audience. Please remember that many very popular shows like MASH, 24 and Cheers were not immediate hits.
We understand that ABC is posting the remaining episodes online but, for a variety of reasons, millions of people are not able to see these episodes — resulting in lost viewership for you and disappointment and frustration for them.
We respectfully request that you return Day Break to network television and to consider continuing production of further episodes or even a film. At the very least, we ask that you make the existing episodes available to a wider audience via a DVD release.
Thank you in advance for your attention and consideration.
The Undersigned fans of Day Break
Bring it Back!!!!!!!!!!

This the best scifi ,cop thriller that I have ever seen.
Brilliant show – much better acting than rubbish like Prison Break. Why on Earth did this get cancelled when there’s so much other junk that lasts?

Okay…it’s been well over a year now that you…ABC..pulled DayBreak. YOU WOULD RERUN IT DURING THIS WRITERS STRIKE if you had any sense. It will be new to many, and maybe help some of us LOYAL FANS see ABC in a more favorable light after having FINALLY made a FAIR AND INTELLIGENT decision regarding this series. You originally replaced it with RERUNS of “JIM” and “Lopez”…why not replace a present rerun with this terrific series???????? PLEASE COME TO YOUR SENSES. I hope all of these additional comments over the year are sent to ABC again. Maybe we all should have… Read more »
I live in Eastern Europe and somehow I used to live under the impression that only in countries like mine something like that could happen. To cut off a success series at half final season, without warning,is a specific move to countries where “respect” for the viewers means nothing. Great actors, great story, great intrigue, this show has it all! Are you guys sure the rating was so bad? Allow me to express my doubts over it…
Bring it back, this show was meant from its very first episode, to be a success! Who cut off the bird’s wings?
please bring back this show!! Are you people nuts for not giving this show a half of a chance?
je suis français et j’ai adoré la première saison.
please, une deuxième saison !!!!
yea me and my whole family really liked the series we would enjoy to see another season and would love to see it on dvd.
